His Beloved(A vampire's mate)

Chapter 43

*Emily's  POV *

Memories of what happened the day before flashed back, rushing through my memory. Those Memories were bor pretty in anyway, they were scary and horrifying.

My mother was so bent on bringing me to her side and I didn't want to be part of bad again, even if only all I did was to watch her evil deeds and be quiet, I still didn't want to be part of that .

I choose Justin and if closing Justin has to do with opposing darkness, I will gladly do that. But I was scared chosing light means hurting my mate and all I cared and loved, which jnclude Veronica.

I locked myself up, I didn't want to let anyone in. I guess that was the only way to protect them from getting hurt. I was sure Justin will hate me by now. I hurt him, my mum literally did, but It was because of me.

I heard a loud bang on my room door, which was completely locked to shut the world out.
"Emily, open up!" Justin said as ge continued banging the door earnestly.

"Please, Justin...let me be." I said in a pleasing tone. I have hurt him enough and he still wanted me, so I could hurt him more?
"Emily, please. I need to talk to you." Justin said in a pleading tone.

What can I say, his pleading got to me. I approached the door and unlocked it. As soon as he stepped foot into my room.,  he hugged me tightly. I was shocked, why will Justin hug me after what my mother did to him.

"Never, ever lock me out." Justin said in a serious tone. For once, he was serious and had a sincere look in his eyes.

"Why do you still want me?...after all my mother made you see." I said as I broke the hug and moved backwards.

"Your mother made me see you die because of me. Do you know how sad and devastated I was, even if it was just a trance, it looked real and felt real too...I really don't want to lose you and if I'm not near you, how else will I protect you?" Justin said as he moved forward to grab my hand.

"Justin, our clan does not agree us being together,  we are opposite and opposing clan's, we are enemies. We just can't." I said even if I wanted that to be a lie. I meant the opposite deep down. I actually never imagined myself falling in love with Justin, now that I'm in love, I can't imagine myself without him.

But this was for his good, my good, cause I can't imagine a life without him. Even if we weren't together as far as he was breathing, I will be okay and have a reason to breath too.

"Is that true? Is that really what you want? Others opinion doesn't matter to me, but if you don't want me, just say it." Justin said in a hurtful tone. He was in pain and that pain was being caused by me and that hurt my heart badly. But I had to do this. For his good, for my good, for the better good. He should understand, right?

"Justin, I don't want us together again...I don't want you, Justin." I said. It hurts badly seeing his like that, but I had to.

"Alright then...when you want me, hope you can still have me." Justin said as he moved closer to me, closing the gal between us, as he hugged me tightly, for the last time. Emphasise on the ' last '

I wish he could hold me like this forever, but he broke the hug and it hit me hard...he wasn't mine anymore.
I just rejected my mate.

Justin moved out of my room, shutting the door behind him. The silence swallowed me, alone with loneliness. This new life I will learn to embrace.

*Writer's POV *

The clashing of the cup on the ground echoed through the whole hall. Fear gripped their hearts. The adviser, witches and his personal sorcerer, were all in the hall.
